Did you know? A record 40% of U.S. homeowners now own their homes free and clear. That’s the highest share ever recorded.

And that’s an important stat if you’re considering downsizing.

Think about it. If you’ve been in your house for a long time, you may be able to sell and buy your next home in cash.
